He means anyone with an IQ over 60...

The inspiration for that quote came from the news that vote returns were slow and few, predicting a very low turn out, and I was reminded of the way low voter engagement is a symptom of a declining democracy. And we don't want that.

Heisenberg, one day our Green Day will come. I hope you are alive to enjoy it. Think of me when it does...

As for IQs I have been so excited by the regular appearance of children who are using their genius level - 160 and above - IQs out there in the world to do amazing things. And lots of them are female. Evolution maybe?

Everyone needs to focus on what is being said, NOT who is saying it.  This is a discussion board, not a bitch and whine about the left or right board.  Please use reasoned argument to make and refute claims, not insults and references to personality traits.

It's because we are very picky about the quality of the people we let in here Heisenberg. Very picky indeed.

But you knew that...

Yes, Labour did what was necessary at the time and had already put the brakes on the spending toward the end of their term once the worst of covid was over.

National however reacted completely contradictory to normal economic theory by cutting costs to the bone.  Normally governments will spend up in a recession to prop up the economy, that's when NZ has historically had big infrastructure projects completed, but national chose to make things worse by laying off 1000s of staff and slashing spending, making the recession that much worse...

Well, at least we all voted, eh? And so have the privilege of critiquing the performance of the various political factions that rise and fall.

We did all vote, right? In the current local elections? Right?
